he was employed in this city by f. j.
Porter, l.. f. Cavalier and others, and
by the people at large he was generally
regarded rs an industrious young man
and he made many friends.
Two years ago this month Miss Hat
tie Bronson and Moray Clyde were
married in this city, and in very short
time he was called to the ministry, and
was assigned to Hurley by the N. Z.
conference OF that year. From Hurley
he was sent to Springfield and from
Springfield to Hurley again. and in
Hurley he has resided as a minister of
the gospel ever since. Upon one oc-
casion he filled the NJ. E. pulpit in this
cily and his sermon here was spoken
of us Il fair effort. In Hurley his life
has been one OF strict ecouOiny because
Of the financial circumstances of his
parish. Mir. Clyde. becoming discour-
aged, has committed an act which con-
demns him in the eyes OF the world
forever.
About Il month ago Mrs. Clyde dis
posed Of some land of her own. located
in ankton county, and receiving the
proceeds of the sale placed them en-
closed in an envelop in Il book case
drawer for safe Keeping. About this
time Mr.. Clyde was afflicted with Il
felon upon his his hand and announce
ing his intention of coming to iank-
ton to consult Il physician, left Hurley
three weeks ago last night and since
that time has not been seen nor heard
from. After an absence of four or five
days his wife discovered that the $3.50
the amount realized from the sale of
her land, was missing, and it was then
decided the money had gone with Rev.
MIR. Clyde and because of his continued
absence it would not return. He was
tracked to Centreville and no further.

up Il years accounts, and without Il
cent to do it with. The manner IN
which Hurley merchants appropriated
every portable article of furniture is
alluded too very warmly by Mrs. CLYDE.
who is now in Yankton with her par
ents. Mr. Ciyde's within doors life in
Yankt0n was regarded us an indica-
tiOn of what his future actions would
be by people with whom he boarded,
and to some this recent eScapade will
not be a surprise. He now "clides"
gracefully around the streets of some
other city, gone but not forgotten.
Either the party who furnished the
Press and Dahotaian with the infor-
nation contained in the above article,
or the reporter thereof, must have
drawn rather copiously on their i'm
imagination. AS MIR. Clyde had been
a reside: t OF Hurley only about two
months, it is difficult to seq how he
could leave "a years accounts to be
settled by his wife.
AS to the" manner in which Hurley
merchants appropriated every portable
article of furniture we wish to say a
word. Mrs. Clyde. upon her return
from Yankton, said that she was anx-
Gus to pay every cent owing in Hurley,
and Mr.. Lalnson thereupon presented
a bill for rent, etc, and Mrs, Clyde of
fered him a side-saddle for 81, and told
him to sell Il coal stove for which he
had sent for now castings, and to send
the balance, If any, to her ut Yankt0n.
This settlement was perfectly salts
factory, but Mrs. Clyde finally packed
the saddle and sent it to the depot. aud
was doing the same with the stove. in
forming Mr.. l.. that Messrs. Workman
and Conklin; church trustees, had adj
vised her to do so, saying they would
settle the bills. Upon seeing these
gentlemen they denied having had any
conversation upon thesubject, or hav-
ing seen her that day. Mrs. Clyde then
left the stove with Mr.. LamSon, Mr..
Basye agreeing to pay him So for some
furniture he had purchased of her.
This was the only furniture "appropri.
ated," and the balance of Mr.. Clydes
indebtedness in Hurley has been as
sulned by the members of the NJ. E.
church Of Hurley and vicinity.
Canton Advocate, 18th: The fore
part of last week a man calling himself
Geo. G. Thompson came to our city

for sale at a very low price. DC. Hull
purchased them, but suspici"ned some,

Charley Hymers was keeping track Of
him. but like slippery eel he skipped
out the back door and made tracks fol
the Sioux river. Marshal Menor and
Mr.. Hull tracked him up with a lantern
finding him near Thorson's farm il
Iowa, winding his way toward thu
Sunny South. Mr.. Hull got his none,
back, and Geo. Brown re-purchased tn,

the bank, Thompson to draw the inone.
at the expiration of thirty days pro
yided no one came after the steers
Mr., Gowdy, u cattle dealer at Hurley
